Cordinier banked in a three-pointer and soon added a reverse layup in a 0-6 run that gave Virtus its first lead, 5-6. Hezonja scored in the low post and erased Shengelia's layup with a dunk. Ante Zizic hit a jump hook, which Clyburn followed with a corner triple for a 9-13 score. Hezonja answered from downtown. After Clyburn hit a jumper, Campazzo's layup drew Real within 14-15. Shengelia improved on Eli Ndiaye's tip-in with a three-point play. Clyburn and Hezonja traded triples and Tavares gave Real a 23-21 lead. Rathan-Mayes buried a fadeaway jumper, then Shengelia and Hezonja each struck from beyond the arc for a 28-24 score. Diouf got Virtus closer, 28-25, after 10 minutes.
Matt Morgan followed Diouf's put-back layup with a three-pointer for a 28-30 Virtus lead early in the second quarter. Shengelia shocked the crowd with a high-flying tip-in and Clyburn added a fastbreak layup, prompting Real to call a timeout at 28-34 after a 0-10 run. Rathan-Mayes rescued the hosts with a triple and Ibaka added a jump hook for a 33-34 Real deficit. Diouf dunked and Shengelia banked in a jump hook, but Ibaka followed a two-handed slam with a triple that tied it at 38-38. Rathan-Mayes insisted from downtown, but Zizic buried a jump hook and Marco Belinelli's three-pointer gave Virtus a 41-44 edge. Sergio Llull joined the three-point shootout, Gabriel Deck added a three-point play and Tavares's dunk gave Real fresh air at 50-44. Llull sank another triple, but Cordinier gor the visitors within 53-49 at halftime.
Shengelia followed a triple with a step-back fadeaway jumper soon after the break. Alberto Abalde answered from downtown and Campazzo added a floater for a 58-54 score. Shengelia insisted from beyond the arc. Tavares scored down low and Abalde's second triple boosted his team's lead to 63-57.

Clyburn hit a three-pointer over Tavares and added a jump hook. Campazzo found Hezonja for a triple and hit a circus shot. Rayjon Tucker banked in a running floater that Campazzo somehow matched at the other end for an 80-67 Real lead after 30 minutes.
Rathan-Mayes buried a three-pointer early in the fourth quarter. Belinelli hit a leaning shot that a red-hot Rathan-Hayes bettered with another triple. Belinelli kept pacing Virtus with an unbelievable three-pointer. Ibaka scored around the basket and Hezonja soon made it 90-74, with les than 6 minutes left. Zizic scored off a high-post pick-and-roll play, Deck bettered that with a layup-plus-foul and by the time Rathan-Mayes downed his fifth three-pointer everything was said and done, as Real had cruised to yet another convincing home victory.
